Vast tonnages of solid-liquid mixtures are pumped every year in dredging operations, mining and waste-disposal applications. Most of these systems are centrifugal pumps, and the resolution of problems encountered in slurry pumping requires both detailed scientific knowledge and judgment derived from practical experience. For many years the combination of up-to-date analysis and hands-on experimentation has been provided to interested engineers in a short course based at the GIW Hydraulic Laboratory. The lecturers in this course, who represent a broad background of international expertise, have prepared this widely-recognized text, Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps, Third Edition. This unique text is logically divided into two sections: the first part of the book concentrates on the behaviors of various sorts of slurry flow, and the second part deals with the behavior of centrifugal pumps handling slurries, and with how pumps and pipelines interact as a system. Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps, Third Edition also includes: New material on both non-Newtonian flows and slurries of granular particles. New information on pump wear, solids effect, and system operation. Updated and completely new material on pump selection and environmental aspects Worked examples and case studies that stress practical applications Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps, Third Edition, will be of interest to all engineers and technologists involved in the large-scale transportation of slurries. .

BMM,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps (Hardcover)
This book gives an excellent comprehensive overview of the application of pumps for heavy slurry environments. The details in the book were rooted in technical information and allowed more than just a fluffy overview of slurry pump applications. The information can be used by any good technical engineer to help properly develop systems and apply centrifugal pumps to these applications.

Got the wrong book,

This review is from: Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps - Second Edition (Hardcover)
They show the third edition in the illustration, but for some very strange and stupid reason they offer the second edition, which is not that good.

Pump It Up!,
By Joel (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Slurry Transport Using Centrifugal Pumps (Hardcover)
Can there be any sweeter sound than the roar of the centrifugal pump? Whether it's being used to transport slurry, oil or just plain old water, the centrifugal pump is the undisputed king of fluid transportation mechanisms. I could happily spend all day staring at pictures of centrifugal pumps, playing a selction of my homemade centrifugal-pump sound sampler tapes and singing along with little made-up ditties, the lyrics of which outline the many advantages of centrifugal pumps as opposed to other, inferior pumps. Heck, I could spend an entire week like that. And if I had a wife who even took the time to try and understand me, she wouldn't dream of intruding on my contemplation with her constant interruptions, threats of divorce and quiet sobbing. She certainly wouldn't stand in the doorway with her suitcase shouting, 'What are you doing to this family? What are you doing to us?' Thank goodness the sound of centrifugal pumps is so loud, otherwise it might have been drowned out by the baby's screaming. Ch-chung. Ch-chung. Ch-chung. Ch-chung. Ch-chung. So reassuring. So reliable. Oh Karen, why couldn't you be more like a centrifugal pump? We could really have had something.
